Hi Nick,
I started a thread awhile back on the same topic as did another member
a bit later and received lots of great advice from the helpful folks
here.  If you search the archives back a few months for
"amplification" you should find a lot of recommendations and advice. 
Due to the dynamic range required for drums, keyboard amps do good job
in general (depending, of course, on what environment you want to use
the amp in).

Based on that advice I bought a Roland KC-550 for my DTXTIIS and it
kicks ... butt!  I'm just using it at home, but it sounds great and is
very flexible.  I have the drums and a Yamaha keyboard/synth into it
and it handles them both wonderfully.  It even does a nice job with my
guitars, although I prefer my little Fender Princeton for those.  

It's a lot of amp and (again, depending on your requirements) should
be great for small gigs.  It's way more than I "need" at home, but ...
hey, it makes me smile a lot!

I hope this helps.
